Posting from Feb - ... I was kind of expecting this

...but it doesn't make it any easier. I spoke to Mum earlier and she confirmed my private thoughts. Dad doesn't have an ulcer. It's stomach cancer. He's staying in over the weekend and getting more blood before he has a radio therapy session on Monday. He'll come home after that and then get into the chemo.

The Consultant says the cancer is treatable but not curable. Apparently it's already in his liver and there are shadows elsewhere. How long has he got? No-one knows at the moment. I'm going to see him tomorrow. What we have to do now is make sure he fights it... Not a great day....
